As A Matter Of Thought by Pat Nolan printable pdf

Pat Nolan’s previous prose poem selections are Counterintelligence (Doris Green Editions) and Intellectual Pretentions (editions de Jacob). The prose poem should be the result of skillful attention to composition and the poetic potential of prose as exemplified by the Holy Trinity of prose poets, Charles Baudelaire, Max Jacob, and Arthur Rimbaud. As Jacob himself wrote of the prose poem, “Dimension counts for nothing in the beauty of a work, its situation and style are everything.”
